sim city 4

How do you make those small mini roundabouts?

Install NAM and then look in the plugins/NAM/images folder and you will see;

Which pieces are you missing, the roundabouts apear once you connect all the road tiles like in the pictures. If it doesnt work re run the NAM install and make sure they are ticked in the list

Other than that who knows!
 
Does anyone know who to use custom buildings?

Ive downloaded a few but not sure where to put them or install them?

ive not had any success with those either. Most of them require a host of dependencies too altho most have links in the readme the vast majority ive tried are dead links so all you end up with is an unplayable game due to custom content which doesnt have the required dependencies to run.

For myself i had a nightmare with my well developed city which i posted a few pages earlier. I had about a 400,000 pop and unlocked the hydrogen power station. So what did i do i demolished all my old coal stations and when i went to select the hydrogen plant it was gone!!

I had forgot i had the game on rhino speed so the minute i destroyed the coal plants all my residents and business abndoned the city!. I was left witha zero pop a budget loss of 50,000 per month and the game was unsaveable from there.

Such a stupid mistake after all the hard work.#

Anyway i intend to start over again, im hopefully gonna find that some nice person has made a region based on northern ireland then ill get things right from the start.

This game is sooooo addictive :) any other game if i had lost all my hard work would be gathering dust now but not this!

Edit: roundabouts work for me on NAM with the instructions posted earlier

I'm missing circular roads :(

No you use one way roads and drag a circle, unless you mean the big ones (i havent pictured) for highways

Looks like in you top picture it isnt working as one of the picese is not one way road, it looks like a street tile
 
Quicker than Underground. However you are right makes no sense as underground is less than a third of the cost (to maintain $0.3 vs $1) and uses less space and is easier to lay out due to 90 degree turns.

Underground is slower, is more for the poorer sims.
Monorail is quite a bit quicker, and high wealth sims like em more. ( high wealth sims hate buses, and don't like subways as much as monorails).

I like looking at it too :), subway is just so invisible most of the time :(.
Money, to be honest, aint an issue, from 90k city size and upwards, I'm pretty much always 20k + in the plus...
Besides, even monorail pays pack for itself if it's used by sims.

I really hope you don't actually make roundabouts like that one with the fountain in the middle :D


Why not :D ? I even downloaded some fountain pack and place other custom fountains in the center instead of the default one :p
 
Got links to these download packs? Also any expansion packs, or mods to improve performance?

Afraid not, my plugin folder is 2gb in size and last time I touched it was in 2006 ( I copied all my xp plugins to my vista plugin folder).

If anything it decreases performance due to using much more space and ram :(. It's just like seperate 400 mods I have, not a real expansion...
 
those look like top tier buildings for me.
Or some of em anyways.


CS$ is low wealth shops, just make loads of low density zones...
You need CO$$ and CO$$$ ( not to confuse with CS$$ and CS $$$) for big skyscrapers...


Updated my region pics:

Purple big bit in my main city is a monorail, still gotta finish it on the industrial city... and the tiny purple bit on the other side of my main city is a small bit of subway becoming elevated, then back to subway again...

They're not top tier commercial tho :(

My pop is 510k+ now and there have been a few morehigher tier buildings but not many. Argh its really annoying me!

I think because you have one way roads all leading away from the roundabout :p

How do you make a roadabout that is not one way?

I cant draw circular road.
